I have loved mushrooms since I was a child and could smell them as my parents sautéed them for dinner. I must have been very young. According to family lore, I have eaten them since I was 3-4 years old. If I am pressed to identify my favorite food, after denying to have one favorite, I say mushrooms.

I decided to make a Mushroom Pie for Pi Day .....

Savory crostata- I was inspired to make this by a recipe in an Edible San Diego magazine from last fall. This turned into a pantry meal as the only ingredients I had that were actually in the recipe were a butternut squash and toppings. A great anytime meal.
